After 31 years with Newman Catholic Schools, including 27 years at NCES: St. Mark, and more than 50 years in Catholic education, Sister Carolyn is beginning her retirement.

For generations of students, Sister Carolyn has been a teacher, coach, principal, mentor, and faithful example. Most recently, she has been a beloved member of the NCES: St. Mark community, where she shared her passion for learning through technology and keyboarding classes while continuing a lifetime of service to Catholic education.

While students may remember her keyboarding lessons and high standards for posture, they will also remember the kindness she showed, the conversations she shared, and the example she set through her life of faith and service.

On the last day of school, students, families, and staff came together to celebrate Sister Carolyn and thank her for the many ways she has impacted our community.

Thank you, Sister Carolyn, for your dedication to our students and for the countless ways you have enriched the lives of those around you. We wish you God's blessings and much happiness in your retirement.

Please join us in congratulating Sister Carolyn on this well-deserved milestone!

After 43 years of dedicated service to Newman Catholic Schools, Linda Wagner is beginning a well-earned retirement.

Throughout her career, Linda served students and families at St. Michael and St. Therese when they operated as parish schools before eventually making her home at NCES: St. Anne. Over four decades, she taught and inspired generations of students from across the Wausau Deanery, helping shape young minds and hearts through faith, learning, and example.

Members of the NCES: St. Anne staff recently gathered with Fr. Tom Lindner to celebrate Linda's remarkable career and thank her for the many ways she has shaped our community over the past four decades.

Please join us in congratulating Linda on her retirement and thanking her for 43 years of service to Catholic education. We are grateful for the difference she has made in the lives of so many students, families, and colleagues, and we wish her God's blessings in this next chapter.

Fr. Lindner sat down with Linda to reflect on her years at Newman Catholic Schools during Catholic Schools Week. You can watch their conversation at the end of the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHjVEhO7QE8
